Customer Reviews
So Good!
Yishai is just wonderful in each episode of this podcast! It’s informative and up-to-date on what’s happening in Israel and worldwide. I listen faithfully each week and appreciate his weekly emails too. There is always something going on and you get more of the backstory than by just subscribing to the regular news. Yishai puts a human perspective on the real situation of Israeli/Jewish survival. I finally feel connected with current events!
Great show and insight
